Cartoon: Putin's Wonder Goal

Russian President Vladimir Putin is portrayed as a footballer and the football pitch he's standing on is Crimea. Putin comments "26,100 square yards. Impressive, no?"

COMMENTAccording to Wikipedia, Crimea's area is 26,200 square kilometers, so I can only assume that the cartoonist has got his yards and kilometers mixed up (26,100 square yards is equivalent to 0.022 square kilometers). Unless I'm missing something?

VOCABULARYSomeone or something that is impressive makes you admire and respect them. • Luiz played an impressive role in Chelsea's 6-0 hammering of Arsenal on Saturday.
